Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 3), 1913.

To all whom-z5 may concern:

Be it known that I, LEO GEsoHIonTER, a subject of the Czar of Russia, residing at Washington, District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improve- -ments in Mothproof Rug-Receptacles; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and eXact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in receptacles for storing rugs, carpets, etc., and the object in view is to produce a simple and 'efficient device of this nature which, when closed, will form a practically hermetically sea-led joint.

The invention comprises various details of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts which will be hereinaft-er fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings and then specifically delined in the appended claims.

I illustrate my invention in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of a mothproof receptacle for holding, rugs, carpets, etc. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view through the construction shown in Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of means for holding the binder bands. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view sho-wing a slight modification of the binder band. Fig. 5 is a sectional view through the form shown in Fig. 4, and illustrating the manner in which the canvas forming the receptacle is clamped to a closure for the receptacle. Fig. 6 is a side elevation showing the application of the principle of my invention to two bags or receptacles held together by the `mechanism forming the subject matter of my invention. Fig. 7 is a central longitudinal sectional view through the form shown in Fig. 6, and Fig. 8 is a detail perspective view showing the form of clamping mechanism illustrated in Figs. 6 and 7.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a receptacle, preferably a bag Of canvas or other suitable material which is pliable and adapted to fold into a compact form when desired for storage or other purposes. The receptacle or bag has an open end which telescopes over the flange C of a cap or closure B, said flange having an annular groove D formed therein and provided with a beading B2 about its outer end and which limits the telescoping of the bag. A band, designated by letter E, is passed about the circumference of the bag or receptacle about said flange vand is provided with an annular beading F which engages the annular groove B in the flange C. Fastened near each end of the band E is a bracket plate H and II', which plates have upright portions apertured for the reception of the tightening bolt K which has a head, designated by letter K, designed to engage the face of one plate adjacent to the apertures through which it passes, while the threaded portion of the screw engages threads in the wall of the other aperture, thus forming means whereby the two ends of the band may be drawn toward each other.

Upon reference to Fig. 3 of the drawings, it will be noted that the plate H is secured to the band a slight distance back from its end, leaving a projecting portion adapted to receive the opposite end of the band and serving as a means to hold the fabric of which the receptacle is made from crumpling up or folding when the band is being tightened.

In Fig. 4 of the drawings, I have shown a modification of the tightening member which, in this form, consists of a rod J which has its end J bent at right angles and flattened and provided with an eye J2 for the reception of the bolt I, while the other end of the rod is provided with a cylindrical outlined port-ion L, centrally apertured and threaded to engage the threads of the bolt I. It will be noted in Fig. 4 of the drawings than one end of the rod has the trough-shaped projection M adapted to receive the Opposite end of the rod for the same purpose as before described and illustrated in Fig. 8.

Referring to Figs. 6 and 7 of the drawings, it will be noted that, instead of the closure shown in Figs. l and 2, which are usually employed where but a single receptacle is used, I have shown two bags or receptacles, designated by letters N and N, which are of similar construction, and a shell or union, designated by letter O, is provided which has two annular grooves O parallel to each other and intermediate said grooves is a V-shaped rib Q. In the form shown in Figs. 6 and 7, two bolts are employed to hold the ends of the bands in clamping relation and the plates secured thereto are shown in Fig. 8, in which ligure the bracket plates S are secured to one end of a band T which is provided with longitudinal headings T adapted tc engage the grooves O formed in the shell O, while intermediate the two beadings T is an outwardly extending beading- T2 adapted to tit over the rib Q, thus centering the band T and causing the two headings T to engage the annular recesses O. The plates S, which are fastened to one end of the band7 are provided with threaded openings adapted to receive bolts passed through the two sets -of plates and which bolts form means for holding the bands in clamping relation. It will be noted that the two plates S are fastened a slight distance back from the end of the band in order to allow the ends of the band to overlap when they are drawn into clamping relation. In Figs, 6 and 7 the two open ends of the bags are drawn over the opposite ends of the shell with the ends of the bagging of which the receptacles are made extending to the V-shaped rib, after which the band is adjusted in place and drawn taut by tightening the bolts, thus forming practically a hermetically sealed joint.

By the provision of the moth-proof bag or receptacle made in accordance with my invention, it will be noted that practically a hermetically sealed joint is afforded between the closure and the receptacle in the forms shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings as well as between the open ends of the two bags or receptacles when placed end to end in alinement with each other.

What I claim to be new is 1. A motlrproof receptacle for rugs, carpets, etc., comprising an open-ended shell having annular grooves formed in the circumference thereof, bags telescoping over the adjacent ends o f said shell, a clamping band provided with beadings designed to engage and hold the telescoping portions of the bag in said grooves, means for centering the band in order that the headings may register with said grooves, and mechanism for drawing and holding the ends of the band in clamping relation, as set forth.

2. A moth-proof receptacle for rugs, carpets, etc., comprising an open-ended shell having annular grooves formed in the circumference thereof, bags telescoping over the adjacent ends of said shell, a clamping band provided with headings designed to engage and hold the telescoping portions of the bag in said grooves, said shell having an outwardly projecting annular rib intermediate said grooves, said band having a groove adapted to iit over said rib to center kthe band, causing the rib to register with the grooves, and means for drawing and holding the ends of the band in clamping relation with lthe shell, as set forth.

3. A moth-proof bag or receptacle for rugs, carpets, etc., comprising a shell with an annular groove in the circumference thereof, a bag telescoping over the open end of the shell, a clamping band provided with a beading adapted to engage yand hold the telescoping end of the bag 1n said groove,

means for centering the band to cause the beading thereon to register with the groove in the shell, and means for drawing and holding the ends of the band in clamping relation with each other, as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto aixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
